Petals & S.T.E.M. provides young women of color (grades 8 through doctoral-level education) with the representation, mentorship, resources, financial aid, and support network they need to overcome barriers to higher education and career success. While our concentration is increasing diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, we are committed to supporting women of color across all areas of higher education and professional development.
We also cultivate inclusive spaces where students, professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs, and community leaders of color can connect, collaborate, and thrive. Through intentional networking experiences, community events, and culturally enriching programming, we foster meaningful relationships, celebrate achievement, and create welcoming spaces where our communities can learn, build, and simply enjoy being together.
